I appreciate the link to the github repo, which allowed me to quickly read through the code and confirm that no such parameter exists.

I don't know if there's currently anybody at Librivox who is maintaining this code.. for example, to accept pull requests and accept new features and improvements from the developer community. On the off-chance there is, I made a pull request containing a very simple update to add this feature. I hope it can be tested and included on the live server.
There is someone that monitors pull requests and accepts code. The question is when he can test and implement it. :)

Nobody get too excited, but I intend to fix a bug in one part of the API. This part has been bugged a long time, and I hope nobody's been using it. It's only marginally useful as-is, and is liable to cause trouble if somebody starts using it too much. :help:

So: if anybody's app uses the 'listen_url' of individual sections in the API, please have a look here:

If you use the zip URL, the RSS feed or the M4B, you can safely ignore. 8-)
I'll be out for a bit on this last weekend of April, but still checking in as I get the chance. I will try to follow up on Monday, with anything I can't do on the go.
